Webinar: UK Markets May Dance to Brexit’s Tune Next Week

In this webinar we looked ahead to next week’s drivers for GBP after a week in which the Bank of England raised interest rates for the first time in a decade. With little in the way of high importance releases or data points ahead, the ongoing Brexit negotiations will hove back into view.

Discussions included –

• GBP slipped after the BOE raised rates as expected this week with Governor Mark Carney noting that Brexit may still de-rail the economy unless an agreement is reached.
• UK Brexit minister David Davis will meet with his EU counterpart Michel Barnier at the back end of next week with hope growing that talks can move forward to trade discussions.
• GBP has given back a lot of its recent gains against various currencies but may be approaching oversold territory, especially if Brexit talks are productive.
